Because the sample run in the book looks a bit different. More like this:

Hello from Task A
Hello from Task B 
Hello from Task A
Hello from Task B 
Hello from Task A 
Hello from Task B 
Hello from Task A 
Hello from Task B 
Hello from Task A
Hello from Task B 

or 

Hello from Task B 
Hello from Task A
Hello from Task B 
Hello from Task A
.
.
.

No sudden inversion of the order. 
What has the switching of the tasks to do with this? Shouldn't the delay 0,1 prevent that? That's an eternity for a computer. The New_Line is part of the task? Or is the OS trying to do me a favor by distributing the task on different cores which produces garbage? 

Sorry for the noob questions

The more I learn about programming the more I understand that I don't even have scratched the surface.

Thanks
